INTRODUCTION 


THE  recipes,  explanations  and  directions,  together 
with  a  number  of  useful  hints  and  suggestions  per- 
taining to  the  culinary  art,  contained  in  this  volume 
have  been  prepared  for  the  benefit  of  users  of  the 
Caloric  Fireless  Cookstove.  It  should,  perhaps,  be 
explained  here  that  the  word  "fireless"  is  a  misnomer.  The 
proper  word  is  "recalorator,"  which  literally  means  conserver 
of  heat,  just  as  "refrigerator"  means  conserver  of  cold.  In 
both  instances,  the  initial  calor  (heat)  and  frigor  (cold)  must 
be  provided. 

In  the  "hay-box,"  the  predecessor  of  the  Caloric  Cook- 
stove,  the  initial  heat  was  supplied  by  a  large  body  of  water  or 
liquid  in  which  the  food  to  be  cooked  was  placed  and  brought 
to  the  boiling  point.  The  insulation  of  hay  kept  the  heat 
from  dissipating  into  the  surrounding  atmosphere,  just  as  the 
charcoal  and  air  chamber  insulation  of  thp  refrigerator  keep 
the  surrounding  warmer  air  from  rapidly  melting  the  ice.  For 
boiling,  steaming  (to  a  certain  extent)  and  stewing,  the  boiling 
liquid  or  water  was  adequate  to  complete  the  cooking.  But,  of 
course,  the  temperature  could  not  be  raised  above  two  hundred 
and  twelve  degrees  Fahrenheit.  Inasmuch  as  there  are  cer- 
tain foods  which  cannot  be  cooked  properly  by  boiling  or 
stewing  in  a  liquid,  the  primitive  "hay-box"  and  its  commercial 
successor,  the  original  Caloric  Fireless  Cookstove,  were  not 
real  cookstoves — they  could  neither  bake  or  roast.  To  supply 
this  deficiency  comes  the  modern  Caloric,  which  with  its  genu- 
ine steatite  radiators,  furnishes  sufficient  stored  heat  to  raise 


980998 


4  CALORIC  BOOK  OF  RECIPES 

the  temperature  in  the  Caloric  insulated  oven  to  over  four  hun* 
dred  degrees  Fahrenheit.  Inasmuch  as  the  baking  heat  is  only 
between  three  hundred  and  twenty-five  and  three  hundred  and 
fifty  degrees,  it  will  be  readily  appreciated  that  the  modern 
Caloric  really  does  BAKE  and  ROAST,  as  well  as  boil,  steam 
and  stew — literally  cooking  practically  everything  for  the 
table.  That  this  method  of  cooking  is  superior  in  results,  from 
every  standpoint,  we  need  not  explain — it  is  too  well  under- 
stood. 

The  first  requisite  is  to  acquaint  one's  self  thoroughly  with 
the  modern  Caloric.  Therefore,  we  request  all  housewives 
to  study  carefully  the  directions  for  its  use. 

Although  the  time  and  ingredients  required  for  cooking 
are  stated,  nevertheless,  a  little  experience  will  demonstrate 
that  these  may  be  regulated  according  to  the  tastes  of  the 
individual.  It  will  take  a  little  time  for  the  thoughtful  house- 
wife to  master  all  the  advantages  of  the  Caloric.  There  are 
countless  possibilities,  not  mentioned  in  this  book,  which  time 
and  practice  will  reveal. 

Pains  have  been  taken  to  make  the  book  international  in 
its  scope  and,  in  so  far  as  possible,  to  please  the  varied  tastes. 
It  should  be  understood  at  the  beginning,  however,  that  any 
recipe  may  be  used  in  preparing  food  to  be  cooked  in  the 
Caloric.  After  some  practice  and  by  following  the  instructions 
in  this  book,  any  woman  will  be  able  to  prepare  whatsoever 
viands  she  may  desire.  It  is  the  purpose  of  this  book  to  set 
forth,  principally,  the  method  of  preparing  food.  Formerly 
many  ingredients  were  added  to  the  food  while  cooking,  but 
all  the  details  may  now  be  attended  to  before  the  food  is 
placed  in  the  Caloric.

EXCLUSIVE  CALORIC  FEATURES 

It  Will  Bake  and  Roast  as  well  as  steam,  stew  and  boil.  No 
preheating  of  foods  necessary, — no  basting, — no  waste 
of  food  stuffs.    Never  burns,  never  fails. 

Caloric  Cases.  In  keeping  with  every  modern  kitchen  conven- 
ience, the  "Caloric  is  substantially  constructed  of  se- 
lected oak,  the  paneled  case  making  it  indestructible,  giv- 
ing it  an  up-to-date  air  which  every  housekeeper  appre- 
ciates and  enjoys. 

Caloric  Insulation  Fireproof.  The  acknowledged  superior 
efficiency  of  the  Caloric  is  in  a  great  measure  due  to 
the  use  of  our  patented  insulating  materials — for  re- 
taining the  heat  in  the  cooking  compartment.  Caloric 
insulation  is  guaranteed  fireproof. 

Caloric  Ventilating  Valve  regulates  the  moist  or  dry  heat  in 
the  cooking  compartment  of  the  Caloric  Fireless  Cook- 
stove.  This  is  a  distinguishing  feature  of  the  Caloric. 
Insist  on  a  ventilating  valve  when  you  buy  a  fireless 
cookstove.  For  Roasting  and  Baking,  to  insure  dry 
heat,  slightly  raise  the  cap  from  the  top  of  the  valve 
allowing  free  escape  of  all  steam.  For  Steaming,  Stew- 
ing or  Boiling,  the  valve  is  self -regulating. 

Caloric  Radiators  from  the  soap  stone  ledges  of  Virginia  ab- 
sorb and  radiate  more  heat  than  any  other  mineral  or 
composition  known  to  science.  They  cost  several  times 
as  much  as  iron  or  steel  but  they  are  efficient.

Easy  and  Simple  to  Operate.  The  radiators  supplying  the 
necessary  heat  for  "Caloric"  cooking  are  heated  for 
a  few  minutes  over  an  ordinary  flame  (same  as  a  flat 
iron),  then  placed  in  the  oven — the  aluminum  utensils 
containing  the  foods  are  placed  on  top  of  the  radiators. 
Close  and  latch  the  cover — the  "Caloric"  will  do  the  rest. 
Simple,  isn't  it? 

Caloric  Cabinets.  Substantially  constructed  of  selected  solid 
oak  finished  to  match  the  Caloric  Cookstove  provides  a 
convenient  place  for  the  storage  of  all  cooking  utensils 
and  raises  the  stove  to  a  proper  height. 

Caloric  Stove  Bases.  An  inexpensive,  strong  and  well  con- 
structed base  for  use  in  connection  with  Caloric  Fire- 
less  Cookstoves  raising  the  stove  to  a  proper  height  and 
castered  so  that  it  can  be  conveniently  moved  from 
place  to  place. 

The  CALORIC  Cabinets  and  Stove  Bases  are  made  in 
various  sizes  to  fit  any  past  or  present  model  CALORIC 
Fireless  Cookstove. 

Caloric  Special  Equipment.  We  can  furnish  Pure  Aluminum 
Bread  Pans,  Pie  Pans,  plain  and  mountain  Cake  Pans, 
made  special  for  Caloric  users. 

Triple  Nesting  Utensils — Aluminum.  Double  Boilers  in  two 
sizes — 4  quart  and  8  quart — are  regularly  in  stock, 
ready  for  immediate  shipment.

PART  I 
DIRECTIONS  FOR  USING  THE  CALORIC 

The  principle  of  fireless  cooking,  as  exemplified  by  the 
Caloric  Cookstove,  is  that  of  recaloration,  or  the  retention, 
through  insulation,  of  heat  previously  generated.  In  cooking, 
ordinarily,  food  is  heated  to  a  certain  temperature ;  then  it  is 
left  over  the  fire,  not  to  get  hotter — that  would  be  impossible 
— but  to  keep  it  at  that  degree  of  heat.  The  dissipation  of  heat 
in  the  surrounding  air  makes  it  necessary  to  keep  on  supply- 
ing heat  in  order  that  the  cooking  food  may  continue  at  the 
cooking  temperature.  A  method  was  long  sought,  for  hygienic 
as  well  as  economic  reasons,  by  which  the  heat  energy  once 
generated,  might  be  conserved  without  having  to  add  con- 
stantly thereto.  Such  a  method  is  hygienic,  because  it  is  ad- 
mitted that  food  cooked  in  a  comparatively  even  temperature 
is  not  only  more  nutritious,  but  also  more  palatable  than  that 
cooked  fiercely  over,  on  or  in  the  hottest  possible  temperature. 
The  Caloric  was  the  first  to  utilize  this  principle  in  the  mak- 
ing of  a  commercial  fireless  cookstove.  Now,  the  Caloric 
has  made  another  great  stride  forward,  in  the  evolution  of  the 
new  Seamless  Aluminum  Lined  Caloric,  which  has  literally 
perfected  the  art  of  fireless  cooking,  not  alone  in  the  boiling, 
steaming  and  stewing  features,  but  it  has  also  rendered  pos- 
sible  baking  and  roasting  as  well.  Of  course,  for  baking  and 
roasting,  some  heat  must  first  be  placed  in  the  compartment, 
and  this  is  done  by  means  of  steatite  radiators.     With  this 

15 


16  CALORIC  BOOK  OF  RECIPES 

heat  the  new  Caloric  economically  and  satisfactorily  accom- 
plishes practically  everything  which  is  possible  on  a  range 
or  any  other  stove. 

IMPORTANT  DONT'S 

Don't  expect  the  impossible  of  the  Caloric — that  is,  abso- 
lute success  every  time  it  is  used.  Failures  have  occurred  in 
using  a  costly  range  when  the  wind  was  in  the  wrong  direction 
and  the  drafts  would  not  work  well,  or  when  something  was 
overlooked;  but  these  failures  did  not  cause  discouragement 
or  the  condemnation  of  the  range.  Please  give  the  Caloric  an 
equal  chance. 

Don't  leave  the  radiators  in  the  oven  after  the  cooking  is 
finished. 

Don't  fail  to  dry  them  thoroughly  before  reheating. 

Don't  try  to  cook  small  portions  in  a  large  oven,  except 
as  directed  under  "Important  Things  To  Do." 

Don't  use  too  much  water  in  Caloric  cooking.  Not  much 
is  needed.    A  tablespoonful  is  often  sufficient. 

Don't  blame  the  Caloric  if  directions  are  not  followed. 

Don't  blame  the  Caloric  if  the  radiators  are  not  heated 
enough.    Some  things  naturally  require  more  heat  than  others. 

Don't  scrape  the  aluminum  parts  with  a  knife,  wire 
cleaner,  or  other  sharp  instrument. 

Don't  use  lye,  ashes,  or  any  washing  powder  or  soap  con- 
taining alkali. 

Don't  allow  salt  water  to  come  in  contact  with  the  Alum- 
inum Metal  Parts. 

Don't  fail  to  scald  the  Caloric  occasionally. 

Don't  buy   any  cooker  that   has   seams  in   the   sides   and 


CALORIC  BOOK  OF  RECIPES  17 

bottoms.  They  are  sure  to  open  up  and  leak  steam  and  water 
into  the  insulation. 

Don't  buy  any  Cooker  that  is  not  guaranteed  fire  proof. 

Don't  fail  to  write  us  for  information — we  maintain  an  in- 
formation bureau  for  your  benefit. 

Don't  put  the  hot  radiators  directly  on  the  bottom  of  the 
Terneplate  or  Enamel  Lined  Caloric's — ^use  an  Asbestos  Mat  or 
bottom  ring  furnished  for  that  purpose. 

Don't  fail  to  read  and  study  the  Illustrations  showing  the 
"Caloric"  Methods  of  cooking  and  the  proper  arrangement  of 
the  cooking  compartments. 

IMPORTANT  THINGS  TO  DO 
Read  and  Study— "Caloric  Cooking  Illustrated" 

Keep  the  stove  open  when  not  in  use. 

Keep  the  radiators  dry  by  placing  them  on  a  hot  air  regis- 
ter, a  steam  radiator,  or  in  a  place  where  the  sun  will  strike 
them. 

Radiators  will  absorb  cold  as  well  as  heat  and  in  the  win- 
ter time,  when  they  become  thoroughly  chilled,  they  should  be 
heated  slowly  at  first  or  they  will  be  liable  to  crack. 

If  the  radiators  become  moist  in  long  processes  of  cooking 
as  in  the  case  of  cooking  cereals,  etc.,  they  should  be  thor- 
oughly dried  before  reheating  them  for  further  use. 

The  linings  of  the  compartments  must  be  kept  dry.  When 
cooking  is  finished,  wipe  and  dry  thoroughly.  Use  scalding 
water  for  washing  and  wipe  them  off  occasionally  with  a  cloth 
moistened  with  olive  oil. 

In  cooking  a  small  portion  of  food,  the  smallest  utensil 
should  be  used.  If  there  is  considerable  space  left  in  the  com- 
partment, fill  another  utensil  with  hot  water  and  place  it  in  the 


18  CALORIC  BOOK  OF  RECIPES 

oven  at  the  same  time,  thereby  leaving  less  air  to  be  heated. 
In  an  instance  of  this  kind,  it  is  of  great  advantage  to  have  a 
set  of  triple  or  double  utensils.  One  or  two  may  be  used  for 
cooking  foods  and  the  others  filled  with  hot  water. 

THE  METAL  PARTS 

The  Caloric  Cookstove  may  have  been  standing  closed  for 
a  considerable  length  of  time  before  its  receipt  by  a  purchaser 
and  for  this  reason,  the  linings  should  be  thoroughly  washed 
with  clean  water  and  soap,  or  scalded  with  boiling  water.  They 
should  then  be  wiped  perfectly  dry  and  the  covers  allowed  to 
stand  open  for  several  hours,  in  order  that  the  compartments 
may  be  thoroughly  aired.  After  each  use  of  the  Caloric,  it 
should  be  washed  clean  and  zviped  dry.  The  covers  should  be 
allowed  to  stand  open  when  the  cookstove  is  not  in  use.  If 
they  are  tightly  closed  when  the  Caloric  is  not  in  use,  the  lack 
of  air  may  cause  the  cookstove  to  give  off  a  musty  odor  and 
this  odor  may  sometimes  be  imparted  to  delicate  foods.  It  is 
well  understood  that  a  room  or  a  house  when  closed  up  tightly 
becomes  musty  and  the  same  is  true  of  the  Caloric  in  a  greater 
degree  because  the  metal  compartments  are  practically  air 
tight.  A  good  housekeeper  does  not  put  away  cooking  utensils 
with  the  covers  on  them  as  they  would  not  keep  sweet  under 
such  conditions. 

When  convenient  the  cookstove  should  have  a  thorough 
airing  out  of  doors  at  least  once  a  week.  If  it  is  not  convenient 
to  do  this,  the  stove  should  be  placed  in  front  of  a  window, 
where  the  sun  may  shine  in  the  ovens. 

When  cooking,  the  utensil  covers  and  the  steatite  radia- 
tors must  be  properly  in  place  before  any  attempt  is  made  to 


CALORIC  BOOK  OR  RECIPES  19 

shut  the  covers  of  the  stove.     Otherwise,  the  metal  may  be 
dented. 

It  should  be  remembered  that  the  action  of  heat  and 
steam  in  the  Caloric  stoves  is  very  severe.  Therefore,  the 
metal  lining  cannot  be  expected  to  remain  bright.  The  heat 
from  the  radiators  will  darken  it.  The  chemical  action  of 
acids  in  some  foods  will  discolor  any  metal,  no  matter  what 
it  is.  This  discoloration  in  no  way  affects  the  cleanliness  of 
the  stove,  hence  no  attempt  should  be  made  to  keep  the  lin- 
ing bright  by  scouring  it  with  gritty  soaps  or  powders.  Such 
a  proceeding  will  scratch  the  surface  of  the  metal  and  may, 
eventually,  start  rust  or  corrosion.  The  oven  in  an  ordinary 
range  does  not  remain  perfectly  bright  and  the  Caloric  oven 
should  not  be  expected  to  do  so.  Water  or  moisture  should 
NEVER  be  allowed  to  stand  in  the  metal  compartments. 

THE  HEATING  OF  RADIATORS 

The  steatite  radiators  may  be  heated  on  gas,  gasoline, 
denatured  alcohol,  oil,  electric,  coal  or  wood  stoves  or  ranges. 
Care  should  be  taken  that  the  radiators  are  not  allowed  to 
become  red  hot. 

The  time  required  to  give  the  radiators  the  necessary 
temperature  is  from  ten  to  twenty  minutes,  depending,  of 
course,  on  the  size  and  intensity  of  the  blaze  used  and  the 
amount  of  heat  required.  Much  less  heat  is  needed  for  baking 
a  cake  than  for  roasting  a  large  piece  of  meat.  Judgment  must 
be  used.  The  radiators  should  be  tested  as  one  would  test  a 
sad-iron,  or  test  with  paper  as  illustrated  and  described  in 
illustrations  "Caloric  Cooking  Illustrated."  For  boiling  and 
steaming,  only  moderate  heat  is  required,  while  for  roasting 
meat  it  is  necessary  to  have  the  radiators  very  hot. 


20  CALORIC  BOOK  OF  RECIPES 

With  very  little  trouble,  considerable  fuel  and  time  may 
be  saved  by  keeping  the  radiators  moderately  warm.  In  the 
summer  time  they  may  be  placed  out  of  doors  in  the  sun,  if 
convenient.  They  will  then  require  only  a  few  minutes'  heat- 
ing over  a  flame.  In  the  winter  they  may  be  placed  in  a 
window  where  the  sun  will  strike  them ;  or  better  still,  on  the 
back  of  a  range  or  a  heater.  If  an  asbestos  plate,  such  as  is 
used  with  an  ordinary  gas  stove,  is  placed  over  the  radiators, 
they  will  heat  more  quickly. 

Caloric  steatite  radiators  are  as  good  an  absorbent  of  cold 
as  they  are  of  heat.  When  a  radiator  is  cold  it  should  be 
heated  gradually  until  thoroughly  warm  and  then  it  may  be 
subjected  to  the  most  intense  heat. 

Steatite  is  a  natural  product  and  contains  seams  which 
may  open  up  when  the  radiators  are  heated.  The  radiators 
may  also  chip  or  flake.  This  does  not  affect  their  utility  in 
any  way  Avhatsoever.  If  they  break  or  crack  into — the  parts 
may  be  cemented  together  without  in  any  way  impairing  their 
usefulness  or  efficiency.  On  the  contrary,  a  seam  or  crack  will 
cause  a  radiator  to  heat  up  more  readily,  thereby  lessening 
the  expenditure  for  fuel.  The  Caloric  guarantee  does  not 
cover  the  chipping  or  cracking  of  radiators. 

If  they  become  greasy  or  soiled,  they  may  easily  be  made

CARE  OF  CALORIC  UTENSILS 

Seamless  Pure  Aliuninum. 

The  Caloric  utensils  are  made  of  pure 
aluminum   and,   as   is   well   known,   this 
material  will  discolor  under  certain  con- 
ditions.    As  a  rule,  hot  water  and  pure 
soap  will  keep  utensils  in  perfect  condi- 
tion, but  if  these  are  not  sufficient,  the 
vessels  may  easily  be  cleaned  with  some 
good  scouring  soap.    Water  or  food  con- 
Double  Boiler  Made      taining   alkali   or   iron   will   discolor  the 
in  Two  Sizes — 4         inside  of  aluminum  utensils.    Among  the 
^    ^^       ^  foods  which  contain  alkali  are  potatoes, 

from  which  the  skins  have  not  been  removed ;  corn  on  the  cob, 
etc.,  and  these  are  quite  sure  to  discolor  the  aluminum  utensils. 
This  discoloration  is  harmless  and  will  have  no  effect 
upon  the  food.  It  does,  however,  mar  the  appearance  of 
the  aluminum  and  every  good  housekeeper  likes  to  have  her 
utensils  bright  and  clean.  If  food  or  grease  adheres  to  the 
aluminum  surface  it  may  easily  be  soaked  loose  by  allowing 
hot  water  to  stand  in  the  vessel  for  several  hours  and  scrap- 
ing with  a  wooden  spoon ;  or  if  necessary,  with  very  fine 
sand  or  powdered  emery. 

BOILING,  STEAMING  AND  STEWING 
Use  of  Ventilating  Valve 
Steaming  is  the  cooking  of  food  over  boiling  water  or  in 
molds  placed  in  a  kettle  of  boiling  water. 

Stewing  is  the  cooking  of  food  for  a  considerable  time  in 
water  just  below  the  boiling  point.  For  stewing,  the  radiators 
need  not  be  quite  as  hot  as  for  boiling. 


22  CALORIC   BOOK   OF   RECIPES 

The  Caloric  ventilating  valve  is  self-regulating  for  steam- 
ing, stewing  and  boiling. 

For  boiling,  steaming  or  stewing,  only  one  radiator  is 
used.  This  should  be  heated  and  placed  in  the  bottom  of 
the  compartment.  The  food,  when  prepared,  should  be 
placed,  with  the  proper  amount  of  boiling  water,  in  one 
of  the  Caloric  utensils  and  the  cover  clamped  down.  The 
cover  to  the  Caloric  compartment  should  then  be  quickly 
closed  and  fastened. 

The  length  of  time  food  will  keep  hot  in  the  Caloric  de- 
pends largely  on  the  bulk.  When  a  kettle  is  two-thirds  or 
more  full  the  contents  will  often  keep  hot  eighteen  or  twenty 
hours.    Food  will  retain  the  heat  at  least  ten  hours. 

As  there  is  pratically  no  evaporation  of  water  by  escap- 
ing steam,  care  should  be  taken  not  to  add  too  much  water 
to  foods  which  absorb  water,  like  lima  beans,  rice,  macaroni, 
etc.  In  boiling  meats,  allow  only  as"  much  water  as  will  be 
needed  for  the  gravy.  For  green  peas,  add  one  tablespoon- 
ful  of  water  to  one  pint  of  peas.  With  spinach,  no  water  is 
needed  except  what  clings  to  the  leaves  after  rinsing.  Onions 
and  dried  beans  should  be  placed  in  cold  water  and  brought  to 
the  boiling  point  on  a  flame  stove  or  range ;  then  drained,  and 
enough  fresh  water  added  to  cover  them.  When  hot,  place 
in  the  Caloric. 

If  a  radiator  is  hot  enough  to  sharply  hiss  when  touched 
with  a  wet  finger,  it  is  hot  enough  for  boiling.

ROASTING

Showing  the  Use  of 

Caloric  Steatite 

Radiator 


Two  steatite  radiators  are  used  for 
baking  and  roasting,  one  at  the  bottom 
of  the  oven,  and  one  suspended  in  a 
rack  in  place  of  the  regular  cover  of 
the  large  utensil.  As  liquids  evapor- 
ate but  little  in  the  Caloric,  none  need 
be  added  to  the  roast..  For  this  rea- 
son, no  basting  is  required.  The  top 
radiator  supplies  the  necessary  heat  for 
browning  roast. 

It  requires  only  a  little  more  time 
to  roast  in  the  Caloric  than  in  an  ordi- 
nary oven.  For  instance,  a  veal  roast  that  would  require 
three-quarters  of  an  hour  in  an  ordinary  oven  will  be  roasted 
most  satisfactory  in  the  Caloric  in  one  hour.  It  does  not  in- 
jure the  roast,  however,  if  it  is  permitted  to  remain  longer  in 
the  Caloric.  It  will  not  bum  or  become  dry  or  tasteless  if  left 
for  twice  or  three  times  the  period  actually  required  for 
cooking. 

Season  meat  as  desired  and  place,  without  heating  or 
adding  any  water,  in  the  Caloric  kettle.  If  potatoes  or  other 
vegetables  are  desired  with  the  meat,  place  them  around  it. 
When  roasting,  raised  the  cap  of  the  ventilating  valve  slight- 
ly, allowing  free  escapement  of  steam.  Radiators  for  roast- 
ing meat  must  be  very  hot.  Test  them  by  placing  a  small 
piece  of  paper  on  them;  if  the  paper  browns,  they  are  suffi- 
ciently heated,  or  as  directed  in  "Caloric  Cooking  Illustrated" 
—Carefully   follow   the    illustrated   directions — showing   the

BAKING 


Baking  naturally  requires  more  care- 
ful attention  than  roasting,  but  the 
results  are  most  satisfactory  and  sur- 
.  prising.  Practically  everything  can  be 
baked  in  the  Caloric — cakes,  pastry, 
biscuits,  bread,  puddings,  beans,  pota- 
toes, apples  and  all  kinds  of  fruit.  A 
little  attention  at  first,  some  practice, 
and  success  is  assured. 

Two  radiators  are  used  in  baking 
and  these  may  be  heated  while  prepar- 
ing the  food  for  the  oven.  With  two 
radiators  sizzling  hot  it  requires  only  about  the  same  time  to 
bake  as  would  be  necessary  in  an  ordinary  range  oven  with  a 
moderate  baking  heat.  A  little  experience  will  determine  just 
the  necessary  time.  One  radiator  is  placed  at  the  bottom  and 
the  other  on  top  of  the  baking  rack.  Potatoes,  or  squash  in 
the  shell,  may  be  put  directly  into  the  utensil,  but  pies,  pud- 
dings, cakes,  etc.,  should  be  placed  in  the  ordinary  baking  tins 
and  sHpped  into  the  racks.  Anything  too  large  for  the  baking 
racks  may  be  put  into  the  regular  Caloric  utensil  as 
directed  for  meat-roasting.  For  baking  bread  or  cake  heat 
and  test  the  radiators  as  directed  for  Baking. 

Again  refer  to  "Caloric  Cooking  Illustrated."  Note  the 
arrangement  of  the  cooking  compartment  for  baking  pies, 
cakes,  etc. 


CALORIC  BOOK  OF  RECIPES  25 

The  Caloric  self-regulating  Ventilating  Valve  allows  all 
excess  steam  to  escape,  insuring  a  rich  golden  brown  crust 
on  pies,  cakes,  etc.,  etc.  In  fifteen  minutes,  bread  should 
have  begun  to  brown.  Pies  require  hotter  radiators  than 
bread  or  cake.  In  baking  Irish  potatoes  it  is  neces- 
sary to  raise  the  cap  of  the  ventilating  valve  to  allow  the 
steam  to  escape.  Sweet  potatoes  contain  less  water  than 
Irish  potatoes  and  less  steam  is  formed  in  baking. 

SUGGESTIONS 

If  dinner  is  to  be  served  at  night  all  the  preliminary  cook- 
ing may  be  done  at  noon,  and  the  food  placed  in  the  Caloric 
nnd  left  until  evening. 

Dried  apples  or  prunes  may  be  cooked  in  the  Caloric 
over  night.  Previous  to  cooking  they  should  be  soaked  in  cold 
water  several  hours.  Use  the  water  in  which  they  were 
soaked  for  the  cooking. 

Sauerkraut  will  be  more  tender  and  better  flavored  if  it 
is  placed  in  the  Caloric  the  day  before  it  is  intended  to  be 
eaten. 

Meats  and  poultry  which  are  somewhat  tough  may  be 
made  tender  by  leaving  them  in  the  Caloric  a  greater  length 
of  time  than  would  ordinarily  be  required. 

The  Caloric  is  an  excellent  thing  for  a  family  whose 
members  cannot  all  have  meals  at  the  same  time.  Part  of 
the  food  may  be  taken  out  at  the  first  meal-time  and  the  re- 
mainder left  in  the  cookstoves,  where  it  will  keep  hot  for  hours.

CALORIC  BOOK  OF  RECIPES 


The  Caloric  makes  possible  great  economy  in  the  use  of 
seasoning.  Half,  and  indeed,  sometimes  a  third  or  fourth  part 
of  what  one  would  ordinarily  use  will  be  sufficient.  In  using 
the  Caloric  there  is  practically  no  evaporation — all  the  deli- 
cious and  delicate  flavors  remain  in  the  food.  Therefore,  care 
should  be  exercised  in  the  use  of  seasoning. 

There  is  one  Caloric  ket- 
tle for  each  compartment  of 
the  stove,  but  it  is  often  con- 
venient to  cook  more  than  one 
thing  at  a  time  in  a  compart- 
ment. For  this  purpose  the 
Caloric  Company  manufactures 
triple-sided  nesting  utensils  of 
Enamelware  and  Seam  less 
Triple  Utensils  Aluminum,    three   of   which    fit 

perfectly,  side  by  side,  in  an  eight  or  twelve-quart  compart- 
ment of  any  of  the  Caloric  stoves.  By  the  use  of  these  uten- 
sils three  varieties  of  food  may  be  cooked  in  one  compartment 
at  the  same  time.  The  company  also  makes  double  utensils 
of  Enamelware  only,  two  of  these  fitting  into  one  compart- 
ment. These  special  utensils  are  not  supplied  with  the  regu- 
lar equipment  of  the  stove  but  cost  a  slight  amount  extra.

CALORIC  VENTILATING  VALVE 


27 


No  other  fireless  cooker  has  this  valve.  It  is  an  Exclu- 
sive Caloric  Patent.  Yet  it  is  the  one  big  factor  in  securing 
perfect  results  in  baking  and  roasting.  It  permits  the  ex- 
cess of  steam  to  escape  while  retaining  all  necessary  heat. 
It  is  directly  owing  to  this  steam  valve  that  our  marvelous 
results  in  browning  roasts,  cakes,  biscuits,  etc.,  are  obtained. 
In  ordinary  fireless  "Cookers**  it  is  necessary  to  raise  the  lid 
in  order  to  allow  steam  to  escape.  This  cools  oflF  the  oven, 
wastes  heat,  gets  poor  results — and  keep  someone  on  the  spot 
during  the  whole  process  of  cooking.

SOUPS. 

The  foundation  of  all  soups  is  the  juice  or  extract  of  meat, 
poultry,  game,  fish  or  vegetables.  The  bones  of  meat  are  espe- 
cially rich  in  nutriment  that  goes  to  make  up  a  wholesome  and 
palatable  soup.  The  materials  for  soup  cost  but  little  and, 
by  using  the  Caloric,  the  real  expense  of  the  dish — the  long 
cooking  over  the  fire — is  done  away  with  and  it  becomes  one 
of  the  most  economical  as  well  as  one  of  the  most  nutritious  of 
foods.  Meat  should  not  be  washed.  Wipe  it  well  with  a 
piece  of  cheese-cloth  wrung  from  cold  water.  Meat  for  soup 
should  always  be  put  on  to  cook  in  cold  water,  heated  slowly, 
and  not  allowed  to  boil. 

Place  soups  in  the  Caloric  to  keep  hot  for  a  second  helping 
or  for  late  arrivals. 

Stock — Cut  six  pounds  of  the  shin  of  beef  in  small  pieces. 
Add  three  quarts  of  cold  water,  six  whole  cloves,  six  pepper- 
corns and  one  bay  leaf.  Heat  slowly  and  remove  to  the  Caloric 
for  six  or  eight  hours,  using  one  radiator.  Strain  through 
cheese-cloth.  When  cold,  remove  every  particle  of  fat.  The 
stock  will  form  a  jelly  and  will  keep  for  days  in  a  cool  place. 
By  adding  strained  tomatoes  or  cooked  vegetables,  an  excel- 
lent soup  may  be  prepared  on  short  notice.  For  a  clear  soup 
or  bouillon,  use  equal  quantities  of  stock  and  water,  seasoning 
to  taste. 

Asparagus  Soup — Clean  one  pound  of  asparagus  and  cut 
in  half-finger-long  pieces.  Melt  one  to  one  and  one-half  table- 
spoonfuls  of  butter.  When  it  commences  to  bubble,  add  two 
tablespoonfuls  of  flour.    Stir  and  add  one  and  one-half  quarts 

31 


32  CALORIC  BOOK  OF  RECIPES 

of  stock.  Into  this  put  the  asparagus  and  remove  to  the 
Caloric.  When  the  soup  is  done,  stir  in  the  yolk  of  an  egg. 
Serve  with  croutons. 

Bean  Soup — One  cupful  of  navy  beans  soaked  in  water 
over  night.  Drain,  add  one  quart  of  boiling  water,  an  even 
tablespoonful  each  of  salt  and  sugar  and  one  pound  of  pork 
loin.  Place  in  the  Caloric  and  cook  three  hours  or  longer, 
using  one  radiator.  When  done,  press  the  beans  through  a 
colander,  cut  the  meat  in  small  pieces  and  brown  in  one  table- 
spoonful  of  butter,  to  which  one  small  onion  has  been  added. 
Add  one  quart  of  milk  and  one-quarter  of  a  teaspoonful  of 
pepper.     Mix  all  together  and  serve  hot. 

Bouillon — Cut  three  pounds  of  lean  beef  into  cubes.  Add 
two  quarts  of  cold  water,  half  of  a  small  onion,  a  bay  leaf  and 
a  little  celery.  Cook  in  the  Caloric  five  or  six  hours,  using  one 
radiator.  When  cold,  remove  the  fat.  Before  using,  drop  in  a 
little  bag  of  cinnamon  and  cloves.  Season  with  salt  and  pep- 
per and  color  with  a  tablespoonful  of  caramel.  Heat  and  serve. 

Chicken  Soup — Save  the  liquor  in  which  a  chicken  has 
been  boiled.  The  following  day,  break  the  bones  in  pieces  and 
place  in  a  kettle  with  the  liquor  and  any  gravy,  dressing  or 
trimmings  that  may  have  been  left.  Add  four  tablespoonfuls 
of  rice  and  heat  slowly  to  the  boiling  point.  Place  in  the 
Caloric  and  cook  four  hours  or  more,  using  one  radiator. 
Strain,  season  with  salt  and  pepper  and  serve. 

Cream  Chicken  Soup — To  two  quarts  of  chicken  stock  add 
one  cupful  of  chopped  mushrooms  and  one  tablespoonful  of 
chopped  parsley.  Boil  slowly  fifteen  minutes.  Thicken  with 
a  little  flour,  season  with  salt,  pepper  and  paprika,  and,  just 
before  serving,  add  slowly  one  cupful  of  rich  cream. 


CALORIC  BOOK  OF  RECIPES  33 

Chicken  Jelly  or  Broth — Clean  a  small  chicken,  disjoint 
and  cut  in  small  pieces.  Remove  the  superfluous  fat.  Break 
the  bones.  Dip  the  feet  into  boiling  water  and  scald  them 
until  the  skin  and  nails  drop  off.  The  feet  contain  gelatine 
and  when  well  cleaned  may  be  used  for  the  jelly.  Cover  the 
meat,  feet  and  bones  with  cold  water.  When  the  boiling  point 
is  reached,  remove  to  the  Caloric  and  cook  six  hours,  using 
one  radiator.  When  cool,  remove  the  fat.  Season  with  salt, 
pepper  and  lemon  puice.  Add  the  shell  and  white  of  an  eg^. 
Put  the  broth  over  the  fire  and  stir  well  until  it  reaches  the 
boiling  point.  Skim  and  strain  through  a  fine  napkin.  Pour 
into  small  cups  and  cool,  if  intended  for  jelly.  Serve  hot,  if 
intended  for  broth. 

Com  Soup — Chop  or  grind  one  can  of  corn  and  put  it  into 
a  kettle  with  one  quart  of  milk.  Cook  in  the  Caloric  one  hour, 
using  one  radiator.  Fry  one  tablespoonful  of  chopped  onion 
in  three  tablespoonfuls  of  butter.  Add  two  tablespoonfuls  of 
flour  and  cook  until  smooth.  Strain,  and  use  to  thicken  the 
soup.  Season  with  salt,  pepper  and  paprika.  Put  in  a  double 
boiler  to  keep  hot  and,  just  before  serving,  add  the  yolks  of 
two  eggs  well  beaten. 

Cream  of  Celery  Soup — Cut  three  or  four  heads  of  celery 

into  small  pieces  and  cover  with  cold  water.  Heat  to  the  boil- 
ing point  and  cook  in  the  Caloric  two  hours,  using  one  radiator. 
Take  from  the  kettle  and  drain.  Blend  two  tablespoonfuls  of 
butter  and  four  tablespoonfuls  of  flour.  Add  three-fourths  of 
a  quart  of  cold  milk  and  heat  until  it  thickens,  stirring  con- 
stantly. Then  add  the  celery  water  and,  if  a  stronger  flavor 
is  desired,  press  the  cooked  celery  through  a  sieve  and  add  it 
to  the  soup.     Season  with  salt  and  pepper. 


34  CALORIC  BOOK  OF  RECIPES 

Cxe^n  Pea  Soup^— Barely  cover  with  boiling  water  two 
cupfuls  of  fresh  shelled  peas ;  add  two  cupfuls  of  boiling  milk 
and  one  tablespoonful  of  butter,  blended  with  one  of  flour. 
Add  salt  and  pepper.  Cover  and  heat  to  the  boiling  point. 
Place  in  the  Caloric,  using  one  radiator  and  cook  two  hours  or 
more.  Then  add  two  cupfuls  of  boiling  milk.  Strain  through 
a  sieve,  add  one  cupful  of  cream  and  serve. 

Mutton  Broth — Select  the  neck  for  broth.  Cut  in  pieces 
and  put  into  a  kettle  with  two  quarts  of  water.  Place  the 
kettle  on  the  radiator  while  it  is  heating.  When  both  are  hot, 
add  to  the  soup  an  onion,  some  turnip,  celery,  carrot,  bay  leaf 
and  pepper.  Place  in  the  Caloric,  tightly  covered,  and  cook 
for  four  hours  or  more,  using  one  radiator.  Strain  and  sea- 
son with  salt  and  pepper.  Barley  or  rice  may  be  served  with 
this  soup  by  adding  four  tablespoonfuls  of  either,  after  first 
removing  the  scum. 

Puree  du  Barry — Chop  six  almonds  fine.  Add  to  them  a 
pint  of  potatoes  cut  into  small  cubes,  two  tablespoonfuls  of 
chopped  onion,  two  tablespoonfuls  of  mashed  rice,  one  table- 
spoonful  of  parsley  and  one  teaspoonful  of  grated  nutmeg. 
Place  the  mixture  in  a  Caloric  kettle.  Thicken  with  one  table- 
spoonful  of  flour.  When  well  mixed,  add  three  quarts  of  stock. 
Boil  five  minutes.  Clamp  down  the  cover  and  cook  in  the 
Caloric  two  hours,  using  one  radiator.  Rub  through  a  sieve. 
Reheat,  add  one  teaspoonful  of  salt  and  two  cupfuls  of  hot 
milk.

FISH 

Fish  is  a  food  that  may  easily  be  cooked  over  a  blaze  but 
it  is  most  convenient,  when  one  w^ishes  to  go  out  and  find  the 
meal  ready  on  arriving  home,  to  cook  it  in  the  Caloric.  Fish 
does  not  become  soft,  or  fall  to  pieces  by  standing  a  consider- 
able length  of  time  in  the  Caloric. 

Baked  Fish — Thoroughly  clean  the  fish  and  wipe  it  dry. 
Season  with  salt  and  pepper,  dip  in  beaten  egg  and  then  in 
cracker  crumbs.  Melt  one  tablespoonful  of  butter  in  a  baking 
pan.  Put  in  the  fish  with  bits  of  butter  on  the  top.  Place  in 
the  utensil  and  bake  in  the  Caloric  forty-five  minutes  using 
two  radiators. 

Boiled  Fish — Roll  the  fish  in  cheese-cloth  and  tie  the  ends. 
Lower  in  a  Caloric  kettle  of  boiling  water,  to  which  has  been 
added  the  juice  of  half  a  lemon  and  a  little  salt.  Cook  in  the 
Caloric  one-half  hour,  using  one  radiator.  Drain  and  unroll 
from  the  cloth  onto  a  platter.  Garnish  with»  parsley  and  slices 
of  lemon,  and  serve  with  drawn  butter  sauce. 

Codfish  Balls — Shred  one  cupful  of  codfish.  Pare  and  cut 
into  cubes  three  cupfuls  of  potatoes.  Put  the  potatoes  and 
codfish  into  a  kettle,  cover  with  boiling  water  and  remove  to 
the  Caloric.  Cook  one-half  hour.  Drain  well,  mash  and  beat 
until  very  light.  Add  two  teaspoonfuls  of  butter,  one  egg 
well  beaten,  one-fourth  of  a  saltspoonful  of  pepper  and  salt 
if  needed.     Drop  by  tablespoonfuls  into  hot  fat. 

Escalloped  Oysters — Use  crushed  cracker  crumbs,  not 
too  fine.  Drain  the  liquor  from  one  quart  of  oysters.  Butter 
a  deep  dish  and  cover  the  bottom  with  crackers.     Put  in  a 


CALORIC  BOOK  OF  RECIPES  39 

layer  of  oysters,  seasoned  with  butter,  pepper  and  salt ;  then  a 
layer  of  crackers,  then  oysters  ;  season  as  before  and  so  on  until 
the  dish  is  full.  Finish  with  crackers  covered  with  bits  of  but- 
ter. Pour  over  all  three  cupfuls  of  hot  milk.  Bake  in  the 
Caloric  utensil  one-half  hour,  using  two  radiators. 

Escalloped  Oysters  and  Rice — One  cupful  of  rice  and  one 
pint  of  oysters.  Use  the  liquor  from  the  oysters  and  add 
enough  boiling  water  to  make  four  cupfuls.  Add  the  rice  and 
boil  one  minute,  then  remove  to  the  Caloric  and  cook  three- 
quarters  of  an  hour,  using  one  radiator.  To  the  cooked  rice, 
add  two  well  beaten  eggs  and  a  large  tablespoonful  of  butter. 
Into  a  buttered  pan  put  a  layer  of  rice,  a  few  small  pieces  of 
butter,  a  little  salt  and  a  dash  of  pepper.  Then  add  a  layer  of 
the  raw  oysters  and  so  on,  until  the  dish  is  full.  Cover  with 
cracker  crumbs,  with  small  pieces  of  butter  on  the  top  and 
lastly,  pour  over  the  whole  one  cupful  of  hot  milk.  Bake  one- 
half  hour,  using  two  radiators. 

Escalloped  Salmon  No.  1 — One  can  of  salmon ;  one-half 
pound  of  coarsely  rolled  crackers.  Put  into  a  well  buttered 
basin  first,  a  layer  of  cracker  crumbs,  then  a  thin  layer  of 
flaked  salmon.  Season  with  salt,  pepper  and  small  pieces  of 
butter  and  continue  until  all  is  used,  having  cracker  crumbs 
on  the  top.  Pour  over  all  one  pint  of  hot  milk  and  bake  in  the 
Caloric  thirty  minutes,  using  two  radiators. 

Escalloped  Salmon  No.  2 — Thicken  one  pint  of  milk  with 
two  tablespoonfuls  of  flour.  Season  with  salt,  pepper  and  but- 
ter. Put  into  a  baking  pan  alternate  layers  of  the  fish  and 
dressing.  Sprinkle  toasted  bread  crumbs  on  top  and  bake  in 
the  Caloric  one-half  hour,  using  two  radiators.

Salmon  Loaf — One  large  can  of  salmon.  Pour  off  the  oil, 
remove  bones  and  skin  and  flake  the  fish  fine.  Add  two  table- 
spoonfuls  of  melted  butter,  two  eggs  well  beaten  and  one-half 
cupful  of  bread  crumbs.  Mix  all  together  and  season  with 
salt  and  pepper.  Put  in  a  well  buttered  tin  and  steam  in  the 
Caloric  one  hour.  When  done,  turn  the  loaf  out  on  a  platter 
and  pour  over  it  a  sauce  made  as  follows:  One  teaspoonful 
each  of  flour  and  butter  blended ;  the  oil  from  the  salmon ;  one 
cupful  of  milk  and  one  egg  well  beaten.  Season  with  salt  and 
pepper  and  heat  to  the  boiling  point.

MEATS 

Meat,  although  one  of  the  most  important  foods — and  cer- 
tainly the  most  expensive — is  too  frequently  ruined  in  the 
cooking.  Often  all  the  rich,  juicy  nutriment  is  cooked  out  of 
it  leaving  the  hard,  leathery  fiber.  It  should  be  borne  in  mind 
that  the  most  expensive  meats  are  not  necessarily  the  most 
nutritious.  If  the  right  way  of  preparing  the  cheaper  kinds  is 
thoroughly  understood  and  if  the  Caloric  Cookstove  is  used,  it 
is  possible  to  have  a  tender  and  juicy  piece  of  meat  at  a  com- 
paratively small  cost.  In  boiling  meat  or  vegetables  for  stews, 
etc.,  it  should  be  remembered  that  in  the  Caloric  the  water 
does  not  boil  away  as  it  does  on  a  range,  and  if  too  much  water 
is  used  the  dish  will  not  be  rich  enough.  Use  little  water  and 
one  or  both  radiators.  The  secret  of  making  tough  meats  ten- 
der is  the  slow  cooking,  especially  by  braising,  boiling  and 
stewing.  The  toughest  fowl  may  be  reduced  to  toothsome 
tenderness  if  steamed  in  a  closed  utensil  for  several  hours. 
The  Caloric  is  especially  adapted  to  the  cooking  of  meat  in 
these  various  ways.  All  meats  cooked  in  the  Caloric  will  be 
found  superior  in  every  way  to  those  cooked  entirely  on  a 
flame  stove.  Meats  should  not  be  washed,  but  wiped  with  a 
piece  of  cheese-cloth  wrung  from  cold  water. 

In  roasting  meat  do  not  add  water.  The  steam  from  the 
cooking  meat  will  be  sufficient.  When  roasting,  the  cover 
of  the  utensil  is  not  put  on,  as  the  top  stone,  resting  on  the 
rack,  makes  a  cover.

BEEF 

Austrian  Filet — Cut  off  all  the  fat  and  skin  from  a  piece 
of  filet  and  pound  it  flat.  After  it  has  been  rubbed  with  salt 
on  both  sides  spread  it  out  on  a  meat-board.  Chop  one-fourth 
pound  of  fat  bacon  and  three  or  four  boned  sardines  and  mix 
with  pepper,  a  pinch  of  ginger  and  several  tablespoonfuls  of 
bread  crumbs.  Spread  this  dressing  evenly  on  the  meat ;  roll 
it  up  and  tie  it.  Heat  a  piece  of  butter  or  some  drippings  in  a 
kettle,  put  in  the  meat  and  brown  it  on  all  sides.  Add  five  or 
six  tablespoonfuls  of  thick,  sour  cream  and  keep  it  a  few  min- 
utes longer  over  the  fire.  Cook  in  the  Caloric,  using  two  radi- 
ators. When  done,  pull  out  the  strings,  slice  the  meat  and 
pour  the  strained  gravy  over  it. 

Baked  Hash — Two  cupfuls  of  chopped  corned  beef  and 
three  cupfuls  of  potatoes.  Melt  one  tablespoonful  of  butter  in 
a  baking  pan,  put  in  the  hash,  season  with  pepper  and  pour 
over  it  one  cupful  of  sweet  cream.  Bake  in  the  Caloric  utensil 
thirty  minutes,  using  two  radiators. 

Beef  a  la  Mode — Four  to  six  pounds  from  the  under  part 
of  the  round,  cut  thick.  Wipe  and  trim  off  the  rough  edges. 
Put  the  meat  in  a  deep,  earthen  dish  and  pour  over  it  spiced 
vinegar,  made  by  boiling  for  five  minutes  one  cupful  of 
vinegar,  one  onion  chopped  fine,  three  teaspoonfuls  of  salt  and 
one-half  teaspoonful  each  of  mustard,  pepper,  cloves  and  all- 
spice. Let  the  meat  stand  several  hours,  turning  it  often. 
Then  lard  it  with  ten  or  twelve  strips  of  salt  pork,  cut  one- 
third  of  an  inch  wide.  Remove  from  the  spice  and  brown  in 
hot  fat  in  which  one  onion  and  half  of  a  carrot  have  been  fried. 
Remove  the  beef  to  a  Caloric  kettle  and  add  to  the  fat  enough

boiling  water  to  nearly  cover  the  meat.  Put  in  a  small  bag  of 
mixed  herbs  and  cook  in  the  Caloric  five  or  six  hours,  using  one 
radiator.  When  ready  to  serve,  add  more  seasoning  and 
thicken  the  gravy  with  flour.  Boil  the  gravy  five  minutes,  strain 
it  over  the  meat  and  garnish  with  potato  balls  and  small  onions. 

Beef  a  la  Venison — Rub  lightly  two  and  one-fourth  pounds 
of  the  lower  part  of  the  round  or  loin  with  salt  and  put  it  into 
vinegar  for  three  or  four  days.  Take  it  out  and  drain  it  a  little. 
Cut  very  fat  bacon  in  thin  threads  about  a  finger  long  and, 
with  a  large  needle,  sew  several  rows  through  the  meat.  Pre- 
pare the  following  ingredients  :  Two  large,  sliced  onions  ;  one 
small,  yellow  carrot;  a  piece  of  lemon  peel;  one  bay  leaf; 
twelve  to  fifteen  peppercorns ;  a  large  pinch  of  sugar  and  sev- 
eral cloves.  Heat  a  piece  of  butter  in  a  kettle,  put  in  the  meat 
and  brown  it  slightly.  Then  add  a  part  of  the  vinegar  in  which 
the  meat  was  put  and  the  seasoning.  Let  the  whole  boil  for 
fifteen  minutes.  Dissolve  two  or  three  tablespoonfuls  of  flour 
in  cold  water  and  add  this  to  the  meat.  Boil  again  for  a 
moment.  Place  the  kettle,  tightly  covered,  in  the  Caloric  and 
cook  for  two  hours,  using  one  radiator.

following  dressing:  Chop  one-fourth  pound  of  bacon  with  two 
small  onions  and  5dd  a  large  pinch  of  white  pepper.     Divide 


44  CALORIC  BOOK  OF  RECIPES 

it  into  five  or  six  equal  parts  and  spread  each  part  on  a  slice 
of  the  meat.  Roll  up  the  slices  and  wind  with  thread.  Turn 
the  meat-rolls  in  flour  until  they  are  white  all  over.  Put  them' 
into  a  kettle  with  hot  butter  and  fry  until  they  are  yellow. 
Then  add  three  tablespoonfuls  of  sour  cream,  the  juice  of  half 
a  lemon,  a  pinch  of  sugar  and  one-half  cupful  of  stock.  Let 
them  smother  in  a  covered  kettle  for  ten  minutes,  after  which, 
cook  in  the  Caloric  one  and  one-half  hours,  using  one  radiator. 

Beef  Stew — Cold  bits  may  be  used  for  this  or  the  round  or 
any  of  the  cheap  cuts  of  beef.  Cut  all  the  fat  from  the  meat 
and  cut  the  lean  into  small  pieces.  Fry  the  fat  in  a  kettle 
gently  for  ten  or  fifteen  minutes.  Then  brown  the  meat,  which 
has  been  seasoned  well  with  salt  and  pepper.  Cut  a  slice  or 
two  of  onion,  turnip  or  carrot  and  three  or  four  potatoes  into 
small  pieces  and  add  to  the  stew.  Cook  in  the  Caloric  three 
hours  or  more,  using  one  radiator.  Remove  from  the  Caloric 
to  the  fire  and  thicken  the  stew  with  one  tablespoonful  of  flour 
rubbed  to  a  paste  in  a  little  milk. 

Beef  Tea — Remove  all  the  fat  from  one  pound  of  round 
steak.  Cut  in  one-half  inch  cubes  and  put  in  glass  fruit  jars. 
Set  in  a  Caloric  kettle  of  cold  water  and  heat  gradually.  When 
the  water  reaches  the  boiling  point  remove  to  the  Caloric  for 
five  hours  without  using  a  radiator.  Strain,  heat  over  hot 
water  and  add  a  little  salt. 

Boiled  Beef — The  brisket  or  a  piece  of  the  round  is  good- 
for  boiling.    Put  the  suet  and  trimming  of  the  meat  in  a  kettle 
and  try  out  the  fat.    Then  put  in  the  meat  and  sear  it  quickly 
on  all  sides.    Remove  the  cracklings  from  the  fat  and  cover  the 
meat  with  boiling  water.    Cover  tightly  and  cook  in  the  Caloric 


CALORIC  BOOK  OF  RECIPES  45 

three  hours  or  more,  using  one  radiator.  Then  remove  to  a  hot 
platter,  salt  well,  and  garnish  with  cress  or  boiled  cabbage. 
The  liquor  should  be  saved  for  stock  or  sauce. 

Boiled  Tongue — Wash  a  fresh  tongue  weighing  about 
three  pounds  and  place  it  in  a  kettle  of  salted,  boiling  water. 
Remove  to  the  Caloric  and  cook  six  or  eight  hours,  using  one 
radiator.  Prepare  it  before  retiring  and  let  it  remain  in  the 
Caloric  over  night.  In  the  morning,  remove  from  the  liquor, 
peel  off  the  skin,  press  between  plates  and  serve  in  slices.  If 
the  tongue  is  corned,  it  should  be  well  soaked  for  several  hours 
in  cold  water  before  boiling. 

Brown  Beef  Stew — Cut  two  pounds  of  beef  into  cubes  of 
one  inch.  Roll  them  in  two  tablespoonfuls  of  flour.  Put  two 
tablespoonfuls  of  suet  into  a  saucepan  and  shake  it  over  the 
fire  until  it  is  well  melted.  Remove  the  cracklings  and  put  in 
the  meat.  Shake  until  it  is  slightly  brown.  Draw  the  meat  to 
one  side  of  the  pan  and  add  two  tablespoonfuls  of  flour  to  the 
fat.  When  smooth,  add  one  quart  of  stock,  one  teaspoonful  of 
salt,  one  onion,  one  bay  leaf,  one  small  carrot,  one  saltspoonful 
of  pepper  and  one  teaspoonful  of  kitchen  bouquet.  Put  all 
together  into  a  kettle  and  cook  in  the  Caloric  three  hours, 
using  two  radiators. 

Corned  Beef — For  cold  corned  beef  the  plate  piece  is  the 
best ;  while,  for  a  hot  dish,  the  brisket  is  to  be  preferred.  Al- 
ways have  a  good  layer  of  fat  around  it.  Place  in  cold  water 
and  heat  slowly  to  the  boiling  point ;  then  drain  the  water  off. 
Cover  with  fresh  water  and  heat  again  to  the  boiling  point. 
Clamp  the  cover  down  and  cook  in  the  Caloric  six  or  eight 
hours,  using  one  radiator.  Cool  in  the  stock;  press  between 
plates  and  serve  in  thin  slices.

one  level  teaspoonful  of  salt.  Let  it  stand  a  few  hours  or  over 
night.  Put  a  radiator  on  the  fire  to  heat  and  set  the  kettle 
containing  the  meat  on  this  so  that  it  will  heat  very  slowly. 
Do  not  allow  it  to  boil.  When  the  radiator  will  faintly  hiss 
when  touched  with  a  wet  finger,  it  is  hot  enough.  Cook  in 
the  Caloric  two  or  three  hours. 

Panned  Steak — Two  pounds  of  steak,  cut  thick.  Place  it 
in  a  deep,  round  pan.  Pare  eight  small  potatoes  and  arrange 
around  the  edge  of  the  pan.  To  season,  use  three  small,  sliced 
carrots  and  two  onions  sliced  thin,  with  salt  and  pepper  to 
taste.  Pour  over  this  brown  butter  sauce  enough  to  cover. 
Put  the  pan  into  the  baking  rack  and  cook  in  the  Caloric  at 
least  one  and  one-half  hours,  using  two  radiators. 

Round  steak  cooked  in  this  manner  in  the  Caloric  is  just

VEGETABLES 

The  Caloric  is  particularly  adapted  to  the  cooking  of  any 
and  all  kinds  of  vegetables.  Much  less  water  is  required  than 
when  the  cooking  is  done  on  an  ordinary  stove  or  range.  Only 
one  radiator  should  be  used.  A  little  experience  will  determine 
the  exact  time  required  for  each  vegetable.  In  baking  vege- 
tables such  as  potatoes,  apples,  etc.,  both  radiators  are  neces- 
sary. Potatoes  of  ordinary  size  require  from  three-fourths  of 
an  hour  to  an  hour  in  the  Caloric.  But,  at  first,  until  one  has 
become  thoroughly  familiar  with  the  use  of  the  Caloric  it  is 
advisable  to  make  the  time  longer  rather  than  shorter.  No 
matter  how  much  longer  they  are  left  in  the  Caloric  they 
will  not  be  burned. 

Wilted  vegetables  should  be  freshened  in  cold  water  be- 
fore cooking. 

Dried  vegetables  should  be  soaked  in  cold  water  several 
hours  or  over  night,  before  cooking. 

Starch  is  the  chief  component  of  most  vegetables,  though 
protein,  sugar,  fat,  mineral  matter  and  water  (one  or  all)  are 
combined  with  the  starch.  In  some  vegetables  the  starch  is 
largely  in  the  form  of  cellulose  or  woody  tissue,  but,  in  what- 
ever form  it  may  be  found,  the  starch  must  be  thoroughly 
cooked  in  order  to  be  wholesome. 

Vegetables  like  lettuce,  endive,  celery  (the  inner  blanched 
stalks)  tomatoes,  cucumbers  and  small,  quickly  grown  rad- 
ishes contain  but  a  slight  trace  of  starch.  They  are  composed 
largely  of  water  and  mineral  salts,  both  of  which  will  be  lost 
during  the  cooking  process  unless  they  are  gently  simmered. 
When  these  vegetables  are  cooked,  no  more  water  should  be 
added  than  can  be  served  with  them. 


CALORIC  BOOK  OF  RECIPES  17 

Green  peas  and  asparagus  contain  so  much  starch  that 
cooking  is  a  necessity.  To  retain  the  sugar  and  other  com- 
pounds, the  cooking  should  be  done  in  the  Caloric  where 
there  is  no  violent  boiling  as  on  a  flame  stove. 

Parsnips,  salsify,  carrots  and  turnips  contain  but  little 
starch  other  than  that  found  in  their  cellular  structure.  This 
fibre,  like  animal  fibre,  is  hardened  by  intense  heat  and  should 
not  be  cooked  at  a  temperature  higher  than  the  boiling  point 
of  water.  The  cooking  should  be  prolonged  until  the  fibre 
is  tender  but  no  longer. 

Potatoes,  breakfast  cereals,  rice,  samp,  macaroni,  noodles 
and  other  pastes  used  as  vegetables  are  rich  in  starch.  A  good 
potato,  properly  cooked,  will  be  mealy.  A  potato  cooked  in 
simmering  water,  will  be  water  soaked  and  soggy.  If  potatoes 
are  cooked  in  furiously  boiling  water  the  outside  becomes 
softened  and  washed  away  while  the  inside  remains  hard. 

Hard  water  has  a  tendency  to  harden  cellulose  or  woody 
fibre  and  thus  keeps  the  juices  within  the  food.  Soft  water 
acts  in  the  opposite  way.  Salt  added  to  water  makes  it  hard, 
raises  the  boiling  point  a  little  and  intensifies  the  color  of 
green  vegetables.  Soda  softens  water  and  causes  green  vege- 
tables to  assume  a  faded  look.  As  the  appearance  of  food 
has  much  to  do  with  our  taste  for  it,  the  use  of  salt  in  the  cook- 
ing of  green  vegetables  is  advisable.  As  green  vegetables  con- 
tain little  woody  tissue  but  often  sugar,  which  it  is  advisable 
to  retain  in  the  foods,  the  cooking  of  these  in  salted  water 
is  to  be  recommended.  In  general,  salt  should  be  added  to  the 
water  in  which  all  vegetables,  except  those  containing  much 
cellulose,  are  to  be  cooked.  A  teaspoonful  of  salt  to  each  gen- 
erous quart  of  water  should  be  used.  Soft  water  is  preferable 
when  the  cellulose  structure  of  dried  peas,  beans  and  lentils 


78  CALORIC  BOOK  OF  RECIPES 

is  to  be  made  tender.  If  such  water  is  not  available,  one-half 
teaspoonful  of  bicarbonate  of  soda  to  each  quart  of  water  will 
accomplish  the  desired  result. 

Asparagus — Cut.  off  the  tough  ends.  Put  the  asparagus

fourth  of  an  hour.  Drain  off  the  water,  cover  with  milk,  sea- 
son with  butter,  salt  and  pepper  and  reheat  before  serving. 

Baked  Beans — Wash  and  pick  over  one  quart  of  white 
beans.  Soak  them  over  night.  In  the  morning  drain  off  the

Cook  in  the  Caloric  one  hour,  using  one  radiator.  Remove 
and  drain  well.  Put  them  into  a  baking  pan  with  three-fourths 
of  a  pound  of  salt  pork.  Put  three  tablespoonfuls  of  molasses, 
two  teaspoonfuls  of  salt  and  one  teaspoonful  of  mustard  into  a 
cup.  Fill  cup  with  cold  water  and  pour  the  mixture  over 
the  beans.  Bake  in  the  Caloric  utensil  from  four  to  six  hours,

two  radiators.  Serve  in  the  shell  or  scrape  the  squash  out 
and  fry  it  in  butter. 

Boiled  Cauliflower — Remove  the  outer  leaves  and  cut  off 
the  stem  close  to  the  head.  Wash  the  cauliflower  thoroughly 
in  cold  water.  Then  soak  it  in  cold,  salted  water,  top  down- 
ward, for  one  hour,  allowing  one  tablespoonful  of  salt  to  one 
gallon  of  water.  Put  the  cauliflower  into  a  kettle  of  boiling

CEREALS 

The  value  of  cereals  as  food  is  admitted  from  the  stand- 
point of  economy  as  well  as  from  that  of  nutrition.  Served 
with  milk  and  sugar,  they  have  the  same  food  value  as  meat. 
Almost  without  exception,  the  directions  accompanying  pack- 
ages of  cereals  give  too  short  a  time  for  the  cooking.  It  re- 
quires several  hours  to  cook  most  cereals,  if  they  are  to  be 
made  digestible.  In  this  one  particular  the  Caloric  Cookstove 
is  worth  infinitely  more  than  it  costs.  It  thoroughly  cooks 
every  kernel,  preserving  each  perfectly  whole  and  rendering 
the  cereals  soft  as  jelly.  It  is  preferable  to  cook  cereals  in  a 
Caloric  double  boiler,  which  is  an  extra  equipment  at  a  small 
cost.  When,  however,  a  small  quantity  is  desired,  it  may  be 
cooked  in  a  vessel  placed  in  the  eight  or  twelve-quart  utensil, 
surrounded  by  boiling  water. 

The  water  into  which  cereals  is  stirred  should  be  boiling. 
Cook  in  the  Caloric,  using  one  radiator. 

Boiled  Rice — Put  one  cupful  of  washed  rice,  two  cupfuls 
of  boiling  water  and  one  level  teaspoonful  of  salt  into  the 
double  boiler.  Cook  one-half  hour,  using  one  radiator.  A 
handful  of  raisins  is  a  good  addition.  The  rice  may  be  cooked 
directly  over  a  radiator,  without  using  a  double  boiler. 

Old  Fashioned  Oatmeal — One  cupful  of  oatmeal;  three 
and  one-half  cupfuls  of  water;  one  and  one-half  teaspoonfuls 
of  salt.  Stir  the  cereal  slowly  into  the  water  and  place  in 
the  Caloric  for  four  oi  five  hours,  using  one  radiator.  If  not 
sufficiently  hot  at  serving  time,  place  the  boiler  over  the  fire 
imtil  the  water  boils  and  the  cereal  is  steaming.  Serve  with 
cream  and  sugar.

oatmeal.     Cook  in  the  Caloric  over  night,  using  one  radiator. 

Rice  Cooked  in  Milk — Heat  to  the  boiling  point  one  quart 
of  milk.  Into  this  put  one  cupful  of  washed  rice,  a  pinch  of 
salt,  a  piece  of  cinnamon  bark,  and  sugar  to  taste.  Before  serv- 
ing, sprinkle  sugar  and  cinnamon  or  mace  over  the  rice.  Cook 
in  the  double  boiler  in  the  Caloric  one  hour,  using  one  radiator. 

Rice  Cooked  in  Milk  with  Apples — Cook  one  cupful  of 
rice  in  one  quart  of  milk,  without  seasoning,  as  directed  in 
the  above  recipe.  When  it  is  cool,  add  sugar,  lemon  peel,  a 
pinch  of  salt  and  two  eggs.  Grease  a  basin  with  butter  and 
put  the  rice  into  it.  Remove  the  cores  from  eight  apples. 
Fill  the  cavities  with  sugar,  add  bits  of  butter  and  dust  with 
cinnamon.  Put  the  rice  and  apples  into  the  Caloric  and  cook 
for  two  hours,  using  two  radiators.

BREAD 

Bread  is  a  very  important  part  of  the  family  diet  and  care 
should  be  taken  in  selecting  the  flour.  Do  not  expect  to  be 
able  to  make  good  bread  of  inferior  flour  or  of  that  which  is 
suitable  only  for  pastry.  Flour  made  from  hard,  spring  wheat 
is  considered  the  best  for  bread. 

Baking  Powder  Biscuits — One  quart  of  flour;  one  tea- 
spoonful  of  salt ;  two  heaping  teaspoonfuls  of  baking  powder ; 
two  heaping  tablespoonfuls  of  lard.  Wet  with  milk  until  it 
becomes  a  soft  dough.  Roll  out  one  inch  thick,  cut  into  bis- 
cuits and  bake  in  the  Caloric  rack  twenty  minutes,  using 
two  radiators. 

Boston  Brown  Bread — One  cupful  of  rye  meal;  one  cup- 
ful of  corn  meal ;  one  cupful  of  graham  flour ;  two  teaspoonfuls 
of  soda ;  one  teaspoonful  of  salt ;  two  cupfuls  of  sour  milk ; 
three-fourth  cupful  of  molasses.  Mix  thoroughly  and  bake 
two  and  one-half  hours  in  the  Caloric,  using  two  radiators. 

Bread  No.  1 — Heat  to  the  boiling  point,  in  a  Caloric  uten- 
sil, one  and  one-half  cupfuls  of  fresh  milk.  Add  the  same 
quantity  of  cold  water.  Break  into  a  cup  one  cake  of  com- 
pressed yeast  and  add  to  it  a  teaspoonful  of  sugar  and  a  Ititle 
water.  Stir  and  when  the  yeast  is  dissolved,  add  it  to  the  milk 
and  water,  which  should  be  lukewarm.  Beat  in  flour  enough 
to  make  a  thick  batter  and  set  the  sponge  into  a  Caloric  com- 
partment or  on  a  warm  radiator.  Care  must  be  taken  that  the 
sponge  does  not  become  hot,  for  in  that  case  the  yeast  germs 
would  be  killed  and  the  bread  spoiled.    When  light  and  foamy, 


CALORIC  BOOK  OF  RECIPES  89 

add  one  tablespoonful  each  of  sugar  and  lard  and  one  or  two 
teaspoonfuls  of  salt.  Add  more  flour  and  knead  into  a  loaf. 
Let  it  rise  again  and  shape  into  loaves  or  rolls.  When  light 
bake  in  the  Caloric,  using  two  radiators.  Loaves  will  bake  in 
one  hour  and  rolls  in  twenty  to  thirty  minutes. 

Bread  No.  2 — This  bread  is  started  the  day  before  it  is  to 
be  baked.  If  potatoes  are  cooked  for  the  noon  meal  the  yeast 
may  be  prepared  then  but  it  should  not  be  done  later  than 
three  o'clock.  Use  three  medium-sized,  boiled  potatoes.  Mash 
them  fine  and  add  a  part  of  the  water  in  which  they  were 
cooked.  When  the  liquid  is  lukewarm  add  one  cake  of  dry 
yeast  which  has  been  soaked  until  soft  in  one-half  cupful  of 
warm  water.  By  evening  the  sponge  should  be  foamy.  Add  to 
it  one  quart  of  warm  water  and  flour  enough  to  make  a  thick 
batter.  Let  it  rise  over  night  and  in  the  morning  add  lard, 
sugar  and  salt  and  proceed  as  in  the  recipe  for  bread  No.  1. 

Breakfast  Muffins — Beat  one  egg,  add  a  tablespoonful  of 
sugar,  a  piece  of  butter  the  size  of  an  egg  and  stir  thoroughly. 
Add  one  cupful  of  milk  and  sift  in  slowly  two  and  one-half 
cupfuls  of  flour  into  which  put  three  teaspoonfuls  of  baking 
powder  and  a  generous  pinch  of  salt.  Bake  in  gem  pans  in 
the  Caloric  twenty  minutes,  using  two  radiators.

PIES 

Prepare  the  crust  in  the  ordinary  manner.  The  radiators 
should  be  hissing  hot.  This  makes  the  crust  more  crisp.  Use 
ordinary  pie  tins,  slipping  them  into  the  wire  rack. 

Apple  Pie — Line  a  plate  with  crust.  On  the  bottom 
scatter  one-fourth  cupful  of  sugar  mixed  with  one  tablespoon- 
ful  of  flour.  Fill  the  plate  with  apples,  sprinkle  them  with 
sugar  and  add  some  small  pieces  of  butter.  Bake  in  the 
Caloric  rack  about  three-fourths  of  an  hour,  using  two  radi- 
ators.    Any  fruit  pie  may  be  made  according  to  this  recipe. 

Date  Pie — Line  a  pan  with  rich  paste.  For  the  filling  use 
one  cupful  of  dates  cut  fine,  one  cupful  of  milk,  two-thirds  cup- 
ful of  sugar,  two  eggs,  one-half  teaspoonful  of  cinnamon  and 
a  pinch  of  salt.  Fill  the  crust  and  bake  in  the  Caloric  rack 
one  hour,  using  two  radiators.  When  cold,  cover  the  top  with

PUDDINGS 

For  steamed  puddings,  rice  and  fruit  puddings  and  all 
those  that  require  long  and  slow  cooking,  the  Caloric  is  in- 
valuable. In  no  other  way  can  the  old-fashioned,  creamy,  rice 
pudding  of  our  grandmothers  be  so  delicately  cooked.  Pud- 
dings to  be  steamed  should  be  poured  into  molds  and  securely 
placed  in  a  Caloric  kettle.  The  water  should  reach  at  least 
one-third  the  way  up  the  mold.  Cover  the  kettle  and,  when 
the  water  boils  gently  over  a  flame  stove,  remove  the  kettle  to 
the  Caloric  and  leave  it  several  hours,  using  one  radiator. 
Puddings  to  be  baked  should  be  prepared  as  for  the  ordinary 
range  oven.  The  dish  may  be  of  earthenware,  aluminum  or 
enamelware  and  should  be  slipped  into  the  wire  rack.  Pud- 
dings will  bake  in  the  same  length  of  time  that  would  be  re- 
quired in  an  ordinary  oven.  If,  however,  a  pudding  is  left 
in  the  Caloric  a  longer  time  than  is  necessary  for  the  baking, 
it  will  not  burn.  The  Caloric  is  the  nearest  approach  to  the 
old  brick  oven  of  our  ancestors  that  the  modem  world  has 
ever  seen.  It  gives  just  the  right  finishing  touch  to  the  old- 
time  dishes,  such  as  New  England  Indian  pudding,  Boston 
brown  bread,  Boston  baked  beans,  etc. 

Apple  Roll — Make  a  crust  of  two  cupfuls  of  flour,  one-half 
cupful  of  milk,  one  teaspoonful  of  baking  powder,  a  pinch  of 
salt,  one  level  teaspoonful  of  butter  and  one  egg,  well  beaten. 
Roll  out  very  thin  and  cover  with  thin  slices  of  apple.  Roll 
up  and  place  in  a  pudding  mold.  Set  the  mold  into  boiling 
water  in  a  Caloric  kettle  and  steam  two  hours,  using  one 
radiator.     Serve  with  sweetened  cream. 

Apple  Tapioca  Pudding — Wash  three  cupfuls  of  pearl  tap- 
ioca and  place  it  in  the  double  boiler.  Pour  six  cupfuls  of  cold 
water  over  it  and  let  it  stand  over  night.  The  next  day  cook  it 


CALORIC  BOOK  OF  RECIPES  99 

in  the  Caloric  one  hour,  using  one  radiator.  Core  and  pare 
seven  apples.  Put  them  in  a  round  dish  and  fill  the  cavities 
with  sugar  and  lemon  juice.  Pour  the  tapioca  over  them  and 
bake  in  the  Caloric  until  the  apples  are  soft.  Se^e  cold  with 
whipped  cream  and  sugar.

CAKE 

The  amount  of  heat  required  for  baking  cake  varies  ac- 
cording to  the  composition  of  the  cake.  Knowledge  of  the 
exact  degree  of  heat  required  can  be  gained  only  by  experi- 
ence. A  batter  which  contains  butter  needs  more  heat  than 
one  in  which  there  is  no  butter.  This  fact  must  be  considered 
in  the  heating  of  the  radiators.  A  little  practice  is  all  that  is 
necessary.  Only  a  few  recipes  for  cake  are  given,  as  all  one's 
own  favorite  kinds  may  be  baked  in  the  Caloric.  Ordinary 
cake  pans  should  be  used  and  slipped  into  the  wire  rack 
when  the  cake  is  ready  for  the  oven.

flour  four  or  five  times  before  measuring.  Sift  the  sugar  also. 
Beat  the  whites  of  the  eggs  about  half,  add  the  cream  of  tartar 
and  the  salt  and  beat  until  very  stiff.  Stir  in  the  sugar  and 
the  flour  very  lightly  and  flavor  to  taste.  Bake  in  a  tube  pan 
in  the  Caloric  rack  forty-five  to  fifty-five  minutes,  using  two 
moderately  hot  radiators.

SOUFFLES 

Souffles  may  be  made  in  a  shallow  basin  or  dish  that  will 
fit  in  the  large  Caloric  vessel.  They  must  be  served  in  the 
dish  in  which  they  were  baked.  The  following  hint  may  serve 
as  a  pleasant  variation : 

Put  only  half  of  the  souffle  material  into  the  baking  dish. 
Cut  a  piece  of  baking  wafer  the  exact  size  of  the  dish  and  place 
it  on  top  of  the  souffle  already  in  the  dish.  Place  canned  fruit 
(without  juice),  preserves,  or  freshly  stewed  fruit  (also  with- 
out juice)  on  top  of  the  baking  wafer.  Put  another  wafer  on 
top  of  the  fruit  and  then  add  the  other  half  of  the  souffle. 
The  baking  wafer  will  soften  and  blend  with  the  souffle  and 
the  fruit  so  that  it  cannot  be  detected  after  baking. 

The  dish  in  which  a  souffle  is  baked  should  be  well 
greased  with  butter.

fuls  of  bread  crumbs,  some  grated  lemon  rind  and  a  pinch  of 
cinnamon.  Mix  well  and  fold  in  the  beaten  whites  of  the  six 
eggs.  Bake  in  the  Caloric  one  and  three-fourths  hours,  using 
two  radiators. 

Apple  SoufHe — Soak  half  an  hour  four  or  five  stale  milk 
rolls  in  milk.  Then  press  out  most  of  the  milk.  Cream  two 
tablespoonfuls  of  butter  with  a  little  sugar  and  add  the  yolks 
of  four  eggs,  the  soaked  milk  rolls  and  five  or  six  finely  cut 
cooking  apples.     A  little  vanilla  or  grated  lemon  rind  may  also

fuls of  flour,  a  little  baking  powder  and  fold  in  the  beaten

CANNING  AND  PRESERVING 

Before  starting  to  can  fruits  or  vegetables  see  that  the 
jars  are  perfectly  clean,  that  the  rubbers  are  new  and  that 
the  jar  tops  are  in  good  condition.  Always  select  the  best 
fruit  for  canning. 

I 

In  canning  berries,  fill  the  jars  as  full  as  possible.  Make 
a  heavy  syrup  and  pour  it  over  the  berries  in  the  jar  until 
the  jar  is  full.  Seal  immediately  and  place  in  a  kettle  half 
filled  with  boiling  water.  Remove  to  the  Caloric  for  six  hours 
or  longer,  using  one  radiator.  Berries  will  retain  their  shape 
and  the  juice  will  be  clear. 

In  preserving  peaches  or  pears,  pare  and  core  the  fruit, 
pack  it  in  jars  and  proceed  as  for  berries. 

Canned  Green  Corn — Cut  the  corn  from  the  cob  and  pack 
it  tightly  in  glass  jars.  Put  the  rubbers  on  the  jars  and  seal 
them.  Set  the  jars  into  a  kettle  with  enough  boiling  water 
to  reach  the  top.  Place  in  the  Caloric,  using  one  radiator  and 
leave  until  the  water  is  cool. 

String  Beans — Cut  up  fresh  string  beans  into  one-inch 
lengths  and  pack  them  tightly  in  glass  jars.  Pour  over  them 
salted,  boiling  water  and  proceed  as  in  the  recipe  for  corn. 

To  Render  Lard — Wash  and  cut  up  leaf  lard  in  small 
pieces,  place  in  a  large  kettle  and  set  the  kettle  on  a  radiator 
while  it  is  heating.  When  both  are  hot,  remove  to  the  Caloric 
and  leave  over  night.  Next  morning,  strain,  and  the  lard  will 
be  fine  and  white.

The  Caloric  Co. 


Note  This :  Professor  Charles  Barnard,  the  highest  authority  in 
America,  for  many  years  in  charge  of  the  Housekeeping 
Experiment  Station  at  Darien,  Conn.,  has  used  a  Caloric 
three  years  and  he  recommends  the  Caloric  Cookstove — 
see  Bulletin  No.  14,  issued  February,  1912,  entitled 
"Housekeeping  Efficiency." 

Note  This:  An  authority  in  a  recent  issue  of  Century  Maga- 
zine says:  "The  three  great  scientific  inventions  of  this 
century  are  Wireless  Telegraphy,  Aviation  and  the  Fire- 
less  Cookstove  (not  cooker). 

The  Caloric  is  the  only  Fireless  Cookstove  in  the  world.
